FROM MEXICO,
PETERSBURG, Feb. 14.
Two of the missing mails have come
to hand to-day, together with expresses
up to the 7th inst.
The steamship McKim had arrived at
New Orleans with Vera Cruz dates to
the 24th, and.Tampico to the 31st ult.
The letters from Vera Cruz bring
quite contradictory rumors in relation
to the prospects of a peace.
A courier sent by Mr. People's, with
the President's message, for the Amer
ican Star, was on his return taken by
the guerillas, and taken into the bushes
beside the road, and stripped and shot
by them. This outrage was committed
in the vicinity of Vera Cruz.
Col. McClelland, with 300 infantry,
and 200 mounted men, had started up
the Orizaba road to cut off; the robbers,
who are represented to be in large force
on the main road to the Puente Nacional.
Fifteen cases of small pox had occur
red at Vern Cruz.
It is positively asserted by merchants,
well informed as to the state of affairs
in the interior, that General Lane was
moving on Orizaba with 500 cavalry.
Dates from Vera Cruz to the 26th ult.,
had also been received at New Orleans,
by the arrival of the barque Archimedes.
The Free American of that date says,
that Capt. Whipple had arrived from the
Capital, which place he left on the 19th
tilt. He brings the news that Orizabi
had been taken by the troops sent from
the Capital for that purpose.
By the arrival of the ships Napier
and Danbers, from Vera Cruz, dates to
the 29th ult., had been received at New
Orleans.
The train that left the capital on the
14th, had arrived at Vera Cruz on the
27111 ult., without having been molested
on the route. The train comprised
about 200 wagons. On the 17th they
encountered General Marshall and Col.
Allies, with their respective commands,
tit Puebla.
The American Star of the 14th, states
that at the latest dates from Queretaro
a quorum of the members of Congress
was not in attendance.
General Annya had been succeeded by
Pena y Penn, as President, and a new
one was to be chosen from the Congress
assembled.
It was rumored that Mr. Trist had
been in conference with the Mexican
commissioners and that certain term
had been 'agreed upon between them.—
There is no authentic intelligence on the
subject.
The attack made by the Padre Jarmaa
upon the force under Col. Hays, consis
ting of 100 Rangers, and It few Illinois
volunteers, is confirmed. The attack
was made by Jarman while the Ameri
cans were reposing at a hacienda, with
their horses unsaddled. The contest
that ensued resulted in the death of 8
Mexicans, and Jarauta was beleived to
be severely wounded, as his horse was
subsequently captured with much blood
upon the saddle. Col. Hays and his party
had arrived at Teotchuacan.
Late 31.0nt The no Grande,
PETERSBURG, Feb. 17,1848.
The overland express contains New
Orleans papers of the 11th inst.
By an arrival from the Rio Grande, in
telligence had been received from Sal
tillo, which iiidieates that there is a
prospect of seine warm work for the
American troops encamped at El Paso,
on their way to Chihuahua. The Mex
icans, it is said, have a considerable nu
merical force with which to oppose their
progress, and are strengthened by twelve
pieces of cannon.
Squire Collins, who with a small par
ty had started for Santa Fe, had been
token prisoner by the Mexicans at Pre
sido del Norte.
Alexander Newson, also a member
tf Captain Mears' company, was hung
at Saltillo for wilful murder, in shooting
a Mexican at Queretaro, one of the Reve
nue Gaurd.
PRICES OF GRAIN IN ENGLAND.—The
Government averages, for the six weeks
ending January 3, 1848, per bushel of
each kind of grain, in United States
monef, were as follows : Wheat $1 58;
Barley 93c ; Rye 930; Beans $1 213 ;
Peas $1 40. The bushel of wheat is
sixty pounds, and the English shilling
is twenty-four cents. _ .
The London averages, for the week
ending Jan. 11, were: Wheat $1 614 ;
Barley 93c.; Oats 69c.
ID- This morning's mail brings sad
tidings to the Hon. J. W. Davis, of Indi
ana, who is now about to take his depar
ture for the scene of his mission—China.
On the 3d inst., his eldest son, Mr. Sam
uel Francis Davis, of Carlisle, Indiana,
being present at the turning of a flat
boat about to be launched, was struck by
she falling piece of timber, both the iron
bolts used in the process of turning that
boat having broken. The blow killed
him instantly. His age was 23 years.—
It might be considered needles to add,
that Dr. Davis has, in his affliction, and
that of his family the heartfelt sympa
thy of this community, where all who
know him nre his sincere and personal
friends.—Washington Union of Satur
day last.
ay-Chesterfield having been informed
by his physician that he was dying by
inches, thanked Heaven he was not so
tall by a foot us Sir Thomas Robinson,
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Mr.
George W. Robbins, formerly a resi
dent of this place, met with an accident
on Monday, January 17, which, we arc
pained to say, resulted in his death on
Tuesday, January 25. Having left home
on that day with n wagon drawn by oxen
lie wns thrown from the wagon on his re
turn, and the wheels passed over his
body, dislocated his shoulder, broke his
collar hone and two of his ribs, arid in
jured him so much otherwise as to cause
his death.—Holl idapburg Standard.
FIRE AND DEATI-I.—We learn that
on Sunday the 13th inst., the house of
Mr. Michael Bossier, two miles south
of Williamsburg, was consumed by lire.
—Mr. Philip Skelly, a near neighbor,
on seeing the smoke arising, ran to ren
der some assistance, and when about one
hundred yards from the house he fell and
immediately expired. The deceased
was 74. years of age.
The house is supposed to have taken
fire front a stove pipe. Nearly all the
houehotd goods of Mr. Bossier were de
stroyed.—lb.
IsoN FROM ENGLAsD.--There seems to
be just grounds for fears of disaster to
our iron interest. The Pittsburg Gazette
learns on high authority that commis
sion houses in Buffalo have received, via
New York, with orders to sell at almost
any price. Every ton of iron that goes
to Buffalo, via New York, says the Ga
zette, is so much taken from the amount
that Pennsylvania should sell.
The Kittaning (Pa.) Free Press, says
that offers have made by English agents
to deliver in the city of Pittsburg, du
ring the present year, not less than term
thousand tons of Scotch pigs, at less
than $25. This iron is sought after in
England as ballast for shipping.
O In his late speech on the Ten Re
giment Bill, Senator Niles declared him
self decidedly in favor of closing this
disgraceful war. Mr. Ritchie and oth
er advocates of this g!g,antic scheme of
National robbery, will hardly forgive the
Connecticut Senator, who is a locofoco,
for so frank and emphatic an admission
as that "Mexico desires peace on terms
not unreasonable," and that "there is no
justificatibn for prolonging this war."
A GENERAL RISING. -At a wedding
party in the church, at Ilath, Me. the
Minister made this request : "those who
wish to be married will please arise ;"
whereupon the heads of a bevy of young
girls handsome and otherwise ; shot up,
they taking the remark general, which
was only intended for the contracting
parties, and being fully convinced of the
evils of single blessedness.
Santa Anna.
0:7-The personal appearance of Santa
Anna when ncornpanied by his young
and beautiful wife, and clad in panoply of
Mr. Pollt's pass, he landed at Vera Cruz,
to head the Mexican armies in a war
with this country, is thus described by
Mr. Buxton, who has recently written a
work upon Mexico :
"lion Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna
is a hale-looking man between fifty and
sixty, with an Old Baily countenance
and a very well built wooden leg. Senora,
a pretty girl of seventeen, pouted at the
cool reception, for not one "viva" was
heard; uncerernoniosly congeed from the
procession, which she took in high dud
geon. The General was dressed in full
uniform, and looking anything but pleas
ed at the absence of everythig like ap
plause, which he doubtless expected
would have greeted him. His counte
nance completely betrays his character;
indeed, I never saw a physiognomy in
which the evil passions, which he noto
riously possesses, were more strongly
marked. Oily duplicity, treachery, av
arice, and sensuality, are depicted in
every feature, and his well known char
acter bears out the truth of the impress
his vices have stamped upon his face.--
In person he is portly, and not devoid
of n certain well-bred bearing which
wins for him golden opinions from the
surface-seeing fair sex, to whom he ever
pays the most courtly attention."
(*— The New York Tribune has learn
ed something farther in relation to the
early amiable intentions of this admin
istration towards 'Mexico. It has come
out in evidence before the Committee on
Military Affairs, in the Senate, that
Capt. Gillespie, of the army, was des
patched in 1845, to Col. Fremont, then
in Upper California, with a letter in cy
pher, directing the Colonel so to shape
his course there as to excite a rebellion
against the authority of Mexico, of
which he could take advantage so as to
effect the independence of California,
and prepare her for annexation to this
country—in other words to Houstonize
it.
SMALL Pox.—This loathsome and dan
gerous disease is now prevailing to an
alarming extent in Erie, Pa. A corres
pondent of the Gazette, stongly urges
the procuration of a public hospital.
CD Clarion county was visited by the
singular phenomenon of a « thunder and
lightning snow-storm" on the 17th in
stant. The Democrat says there were
vivid flashes of lightning, followed by
heavy thunder while the snow fell thick
and fast.
